Hello there,
i'm trying to use the function object forces and forceCoeffs with icoFoam. i put this in controlDict : functionObjects ( forces { type forces; functionObjectLibs ("libforces.so"); //Lib to load patches (Upstream); // change to your patch name rhoInf 1.225; //Reference density for fluid CofR (0.25 0 0); //Origin for moment calculations } forceCoeffs { type forceCoeffs; functionObjectLibs ("libforces.so"); patches (Upstream); //change to your patch name rhoInf 1.225; CofR (0 0 0); liftDir (0 1 0); dragDir (1 0 0); pitchAxis (0.25 0 0); magUInf 10.0; lRef 1; Aref 1; } I thought that a .dat file should appear in my case directory, but nothing happens. Is there anything else i should do, complie or add something else? |
